Dead Reckoning

Reflections from the bottom of a glass A long night spent pondering the past Life and everything that it's worth Everyone I know could go at any second from this Earth How would it make me feel to never fucking see them again How would it make them feel to never fucking see me again I don't know, I remember the Summer I remember the pain On my mother's face as she sat me down And tried her best to explain I sat there on those steps and did my best to take it in I tried to trace back every lesson you had taught me until then I tried my hardest to remember what we'd spoken of last No amount of effort I put in could bring the memory back How was I supposed to know I'd never see you again? How could I know that I'd never fucking see you again I tried my hardest to remember the last time we embraced But I went blank as the emotion made its way to my face And I cried That's right The small child inside me cries The small child inside me cries The small child inside me cries The small child inside me cries The small child inside me cries
